Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% Ketoconazole, 14 fl oz — Fresh Scent, Medicated Antifungal for Flaking & Itch

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a 1% ketoconazole medicated shampoo that fights the fungus linked to dandruff, helping reduce flaking, scaling, and itching while leaving hair with a fresh scent.

This medicated shampoo combines a clinically studied antifungal ingredient with a formulation gentle enough for color-treated and chemically processed hair. It’s designed for routine use to treat and help prevent dandruff symptoms. The 14 fl oz bottle gives several weeks of regular treatment when used as directed, and the fresh fragrance provides a clean scent without overpowering.

How quickly can I expect to see fewer flakes?

Individual responses vary, but many users notice reduced flaking and itch within a few washes when used as instructed. Consistent application according to the directions increases the chance of visible improvement.

• Apply to wet hair and lather, focusing on the scalp where flakes appear.
• Leave lather on the scalp for about 3–5 minutes to allow active ingredient contact.
• Rinse thoroughly and use regularly—some regimens recommend twice weekly for maintenance.

What makes ketoconazole different from regular dandruff shampoos?

Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that targets the yeast-like organisms often associated with dandruff, addressing a root factor rather than only masking symptoms. Compared with common over-the-counter actives, ketoconazole has demonstrated stronger antifungal activity in laboratory testing.

• Contains 1% ketoconazole, the key antifungal ingredient in this formula.
• Works on flaking, scaling and itching linked to scalp fungus.
• Formulated to be gentle on treated or gray hair while delivering antifungal action.

How should I use Nizoral Shampoo for best results?

Use it as a targeted treatment rather than a daily cosmetic shampoo unless directed otherwise by a healthcare professional. Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp, allow contact time, and rinse; follow frequency guidance on the label.

• Wet hair thoroughly, then dispense an appropriate amount to cover the scalp area.
• Massage into the scalp to build a lather and leave for several minutes before rinsing.
• Follow the product label for recommended treatment and maintenance intervals.

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated or delicate hair?

Yes — this formulation is designed to be gentle enough for color-treated, chemically processed, and gray hair when used as directed. It aims to combine effective dandruff control with minimal impact on hair appearance.

• Suitable for men and women with treated hair.
• Mild conditioning agents help preserve hair texture while treating the scalp.
• Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue and maintain hair vibrancy.
